Try a wider belt, The length may not be your issue at all, I have the same pullies without AC and am using factory brackets and had some belt squeal with the PS pump. I did some research and installed a gates HD series belt and the noise went away, even from the factory the PS belt was wider top profile than the alternator belt because of the higher load. Take the effective length of the belt you have now from the chart and find the same in the Fleet runner section notice they have a top width of 0.51" compared to what the parts stores sell at 0.41" NOTE: the belt will sit higher in the pulleys because of the wider top profile so if your after for the stealth look this may not be for you, but for under $20 and some time worth a shot .
